A Little Night Magic by by Lucy March

Like a waffle, A Little Night Magic by Lucy March was a fun, fluffy and very much a delicious read.
Olivia Kiskey has worked at the waffle house restaurant since she’s been a teen with and been in love with the cook Tobias who hasn’t made a move in over four years and Olivia is tired of the same old same old and in need of a big change! She gets it when she meets a strange woman who says she has a special gift that may bring the change she wanted for good or bad.

Olivia is an easygoing character that may be a little blind to things in her life, from her three dear friends lives, and her feelings of Tobias. When Olivia’s magical gift, the ability to turn everyday objects into animal creatures (her mug coffer cup Gibson and paper crane Niles stole my heart) Olivia’s life is changed a 180 degrees when things start to go downhill. From one of her friend’s becoming a different and spiteful person and someone wanting either her dead or her newest gift.

The story is very easy to get into, Olivia’s voice was nice as well, as she deals with all the changes that seem to pop up over night into her life. Her romance between herself and Tobias was nice, with the mixed signals he sends her, you know there’s more then meets the eye with him. She also has some great friends that she comes to count on, while changing her perspective of the town and her life.

From the start everything is pretty much cut and dry with you knowing pretty quickly who the real bad guy is, and pretty predictable plot.
Still an enjoyable and simple read to sit back and relax with.

This was one of those books that has you rooting for the team and not the players/characters. I found the world building very engaging with the fables and legends a strong foundation.

While the world building was it's true strength everything else felt lacking. I never cared for any of the characters are their building relationships. They all felt just like pawn pieces moving across the board. and never fleshed out for me to care about them one way or another. I hope the author re-visits this world someday as I am curious about some characters that didn't get enough screentime .

Mask of Shadows had alot going for it, peace trying to grow in a war torn land, A Queen trying to hold the ragged strings of peace with her band of assassins to keep the unsettling silence. Here is where Sal grows, their home wiped from the face of the earth, victim of dark cruel and uncontrollable magic. Sal finds their chance to work with the Queen as one of her assassins, a chance to get revenge for their family and home and get justice once and for all. As Sal plays the game and walks through the court, they learn more that makes this so called peace nothing more then a magical illusion.

I was curious in how Miller would write a gender fluid character and perhaps one of if not the best part of the overall book was the way Sal was shown as being gender fluid and great understanding and beautiful storytelling weaving that it just flowed. Sal as a character was interesting as they slowly uncover clues but use their…

The mystery is on a slow boil as your introduced to Skye whose life is stuck in a dead-end then she makes a deal, a easy deal that would get her money and a new life. That is until the deal ends up with someone dead and Skye stuck in the middle and running out of time to find a murderer. As everything slowly unravels for Skye, who you feel a deep empathy for, even if she made a really crappy choice. I always hoped she be okay in the end. Cook does put the reader through an emotional ringer as everything starts to add and and then! -She hits you again with another shocker that left me guessing if it solved everything or just another secret.

I can't say enough great things about this book- only to read it for yourself!
